What price increase has shocked you?

We were going to hire a small car for two days in August when we go to Scotland for a wedding £450 for two days plus petrol and insurance. We are just going to manage without, hoping to share a taxi with someone else from our hotel to the wedding venue ☹️

I went to Pret the other day. Got a sandwich (thought they had rocketed up - £4 for a tiny bread roll) and went to get one of their 99p cans of soda: £3.65. I went to work and had water there instead.

We usually get 30L sacks of wood-based cat litter for our two rabbits' litter trays. It's a brand I've used for well over a decade and used to pay around £8, but up to £12 in the last 18 ish months. We got it on Amazon and have Prime and one sacks lasts about 5 weeks so we didn't mind paying a little extra for better quality litter delivered to our door.

Yesterday we realised we'd almost run out, so I went straight to Amazon to order. It's just under £18 now, for the same sized bag.

We ended up going to Pets at Home and buying two 30L bags at £7.99 each (plus the cost of fuel). The quality is terrible but we're having to make some sacrifices here and there.

£8.49 for a block of cheese

Where I live house prices have gone up by 400% in some areas in 20 years.

Plenty kitchen roll, it's now £8.25 for 4 rolls. Shocking.

How much is petrol for everyone? I filled my car today and it was 2£ . Eye watering

£2 to full your car is a bargain. It's costing most people around £100 to fill a family car 🙃

Diesel
Food in general
It's so hard 😪

2£/litre I meant 😿
I meant to fill my car but gave up after 60£ was 2/3rd of the way full will have to do for now

I had a cut, colour and a few highlights and the bill came to £160! Never again.

Family pack of weetabix was £4.50 in sainsbury I don’t recall how much it used to be but knew it wasn’t anywhere like that not too long ago.

Cat litter. Was £2 now £4.

@Plinkyplankyplonk blimey where are you buying your cheese and how big is it??

Morrisons 1KG Porridge Oats, a few months back it went up from 79p to £1.09, yesterday it was £1.39.

It's actually gone down a few pence per litre here (central Scotland) in the past week. It had gone up to 193.9 but was 190.9 and 189.9 in two petrol stations I passed at the weekend.

Ginsters pasties 4 pack from Tesco.
They’ve been £2.75 for a long time, not on offer, and were when I placed my order earlier this week.
Just had it delivered and they’ve jumped up to £4 since. I’ve checked the website and that’s the price.
